Adventures in babysitting with Sonny Gray & Stephen Vogt

Sonny Gray wanted to take his wife, Jessica, out for a nice Valentine’s dinner last weekend.

One obstacle was what to do with son Gunnar, just over a year old.

A’s catcher Stephen Vogt, his family still up in Washington State, stepped up as babysitter.

“Gunnar is so such a great kid, but he’s a little crazy,’’ Gray said Saturday after being the first player to report on Oakland’s pitchers and catchers reporting day. “Vogt came over and watched him. And I said he’s crazy, and he said, `I got it.’ ’’

“It was great, but I tried to tell him Gunnar is a little crazy.
